| + | === Later changes and corrections === | ||
| + | |||
| + | Add option ''dateext'' to change the naming convention of adding | ||
| + | generation numbers ".1", ".2", etc. to the "-yyyymmdd" format. | ||
| + | Also manually rename all existing log files to the new format. | ||
| + | Note this is the default in later releases. | ||
| + | Fix incorrect permissions for the ''/var/log/btmp'' entry | ||
| + | from ''0660'' to ''0600''. | ||
| + | Also chmod existing files to make the same change. | ||
| + | This is a well known bug fixed in later releases, but should be verified. | ||
